Could TRNN get Daniel Ellsberg to comment on reports of RAND Corp war games simulation which say that the US "gets it's a** handed to it" in a war with Russia or China? Is this just a 'same old' attempt by the MIC to increase defense budgets? How realistic were the war games scenarios? Thanks. https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1223.html
Why is it taboo, in the putative land of freedom, the U.S., to interview Dr. Ellsburg on mainstream media? Why is it
taboo to interview, on mainstream media, Ralph Nader? Why?
not to worry, humans are far too wise (rolls eyes)
The term 'hero' has been entirely cheapened over the past sixty years, especially as we've labeled all soldiers, police officers etc. as such. But to me, a child of the 50's and teen/young adult of the 60's… Daniel Ellsberg is as great a hero as the US has ever produced. I will always be in his debt.
Counties have nukes because it gives worldwide status and they believe it's a deterrent from attack. Unless both realities change, countries will continue to pursue them. Whether a country has 1 or 1000 nukes it's irrelevant.
Good luck we need realist!
These interviews highlight the truth of John Lennon's remark, "Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives."
Paul Jay at his very best, interviewing a greatly knowledgeable soft spoken heroic man, … thanks for the Martin Luther King quotes from more than fifty yrs ago now, at the end, they seemed the most relevant of all, after what had preceded. "There is such a thing as being too late!" Thank you!!!
Mr. Jay, the Real News team, and author Daniel Ellsberg have done a great public service creating this brilliant series on an unpleasant choice we cannot escape.
The military in the US is just there to gain power and control over resources because the US doesn't have nearly enough in their own borders to sustain the country so no country could want to seize the US.
COXISTENCE ,And Very Fast! Or Else for humanity!
What a great interview. If it's possible, would you please post the full 13 clips together?
Game Theory for good?
I think Ellsberg maybe misses that the US uses it's massive nuclear arsenal to ensure that Russia (as before with the USSR) has to maintain an equally large — but far more taxing to their smaller economy — nuclear weapons program.
Awesome. Love listening to Daniel.
Great but how are you going to make it happen?
A seat at the table of nuclear warfare is no different than ejecting from a jet; in your mind you believe you will actually have control, but the dominos don't fall that way, it's clear, the US has an urge to entice other countries to accept nuclear warfare, just so they can coerce them into jeopardizing circumstances that surrender their power. You can't kill two birds with one stone if they're allergic to bullshit.
Israel mined the Golan Heights with tactical MADM nuclear bombs, which accounts for some of their stockpile. The only imaginable reason for doing that is to make the land itself uninhabitable should they ever lose it. In effect, if we can't have it, no one else will either.
China has way more nuclear warheads than that
Greed ultimately backfires on itself.
Premeditated international tactical organization is upon third world countries, the quest for nuclear arms only opens the doors for reformation of US militarization forces and ultimately cripples third-world economies and leads the US to a war of a product of itself, to the extent that US allied forces obtain power that is not governed on American soil. People who rise to power are ultimately unwilling to be subservient or subjugated, the US is more likely to pose a threat to itself than it is other countries, it's only a matter of time before these things come to past. Even if they were to deviate and be in opposition to executive orders, the US itself could initiate a war against its own military. Vice Versa, it doesn't matter.
What about the environmental hazards these radioactive weapons pose to US citizens and soldiers, what about the truth?
Speaking on North Korea is baffling, we all know the truth, they're duds!!!
I despise these hypocrites
My tears are pressured but very real. Thank you.
